Joe worked well with our other contractor and overall was a pleasant experience. As with any sizable job, a hiccup here or there may occur and Joe and Natasha (office staff) were pleasantly responsive and immediately addressed any issues and resolved.
Joe introduced new ideas and products to our project that enhanced the overall result. I would use Joe/Discount Pool again.
After reviewing prices from three different companies, we decided to go with Joe and Discount Pool and Patio.They came out and did the work in about a week after I signed the contract.The job included many areas of my backyard to be re-done. My wife and I felt their work was exceptional. They were knowledgable and efficient daily. We both were very happy with the outcome and would use them again on out next home should that happen. Thanks Joe for the great job.
Joe showed up on time (a rarity when dealing with contractors in South Florida) and was very knowledgeable and professional. He explained many of the various options I had and did not try to "oversell" the project. Since this was the first pool I ever owned, I wasn't really sure what had to be done.
I received an estimate for the work the next day and decided to move forward with the project. I went down to the showroom to select the tiles and pavers and was greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff. The selection was large so I had many choices within my estimated budget. Natasha Niehoff, the office manager, was very patient and took as much time as needed with my wife and I to make sure we were happy with our selections.
Once the permits were pulled, the work began immediately. The Discount Pool staff showed up when scheduled and actually completed the work under budget and a day earlier than anticipated!
I can't say enough about this company and the positive experience I had dealing with all the staff. Kudos to Joe and his team for making this a very pleasant experience. My guests always comment on the pool area when visiting and I have gladly passed on Joe's contact information to them if asked.
In 31 years of Law Enforcement in New York and here in South Florida, I've seen my share of scam artists and corrupt, dishonest characters, and it seems as though South Florida has more than its share. For that reason, I interviewed about 8 local companies, and boy did I pick a winner. Joe explained that a new beam would have to be poured, after the coping was taken up. His competitors avoided this NEEDED step to drive the price down. Joe and Discount Pool did MORE for less money. My wife insisted on a 4' spillway from the spa, and wanted it tiled with exquisite glass tile. Joe expressed some concern about whether this could be done in order to get an even flow of water. I jumped in and told him forget it, but Joe insisted on attempting this to make the wife happy. Joe and Natasha are all about exceeding expectations ! About a month after completion, we encountered a small issue. One phone call to Natasha, and problem solved. This company is the BOMB !!!! Once again, This pool, spa and patio was a HUGE project that involved roof, gutter work, removal of hurricane shutters and a lot more. Joe Wise had all the answers for bringing in excellent, fair and professional contractors who exceeded expectations at a price that none of his competitors could come close to. Thanks Joe, Natasha, and all those affiliated with Discount Pool and Patio. My home's appraisal increased by 63K !
I LOVE MY POOL
As for the work itself, we got off to a slow start because of the weather here in South Florida. We origionally planned the the project at 5 days during the first week of June. Mother nature however, had other plans and simply got in the way. Despite heavy rains, the crews set up by Natashia worked in between raindrops and moved the project forward. The original 5 day plan turned into 10 days but when it was all finished, the pool simply looked great. And the men on the crews? Great guys. Very friendly, willing to talk and provide advice and quite amusing. They did a great job and I had some fun with it along the way. A few minutes before I began inputting this review, I was in the yard marvelling at how well this all turned out.
I can tell you as the director of facilities maintenance for a large corporation with over a million square feet of leasehold space, I've had my fair share of issues with contractors so I have a certain level of skepticisim when I begin major refurbishment projects. This project was no different in my approach except it was my home. I can say without hesitation that I would use Discount Pool and Patio again and would recommend them to any one who wishes to ask my opinion.

Let me also say that the pool was a disaster when we started, it had been left unattended for 6 months and had the original surface from 1978, calling it a swamp would have been an insult to swamps!
Now my pool is an OASIS that my family and I enjoy daily! Joe did that for US!
I would gladly recommend Discount Pool and Patio to anyone.
This was consistent for each stage of the job, a level of professionalism seldom exemplified in today’s service industry. In particular, Natasha at Discount Pool Service was a pleasure in holding my hand through the process. The single best investment I made in selling the home was, unmistakably, the remodel of the pool and decking. Without hesitation I recommend Discount Pool Service as a highly qualified pool remodel contractor with competitive pricing. Should anyone wish to contact me, please drop an email to my angieslist account and I will respond. -Andy Ziffer - Fort Lauderdale, FL
The first project in October 2013 was to resurface the pool's diamond brite and install pavers over the old urotile patio. The project started and finished on time. I was impressed with the early morning start and attempts to work through the rain when possible. The quality of the work varied. The paver team did an excellent job - even working detailed cuts to accommodate the existing hurricane shutters. We were pleased enough to have the same company/team work the driveway project. The diamond brite team finished in a timely manner but the workmanship could have been better. At night when the lights are on the finish isn't smooth - looks like the shallow end of the pool has a wavy bottom. This bothered my husband so we called Joe, the manager, who came out and worked with us to come to an agreeable solution. We asked for a minor discount on the work and settled it.
The driveway project took place in January 2014. The team worked effectively and efficiently and I couldn't be happier with the driveway. The only delays experienced had to do with the local government inspections. Keep in mind that is part of the timeline/process.
The strengths of Discount Pool & Patio lay with Joe Wise, the owner/manager, and Natasha, the office manager. Both are professional, personable, and punctual individuals who work with and listen to the customer. I actually wish I listened to them more! When I explained that my husband and I wanted to keep the exiting tile and coping, Joe recommended we at least change the tile because it will look more worn when the new items are installed. He was right - we kept the old tile and it looks a little more worn against the new pool and patio. Regarding paver color, Natasha was very patient with me as I changed my mind once or twice. She advised that I stick to the original selection but I changed my mind. I do like the final results, but she may have been on to something with her recommendation. In both cases, they did not push me - they attempted to educate and guide me, but in the end they respected the customer's decisions. I recommend you listen to them if you work with them - they know what they are doing! They are also fair and honest. They were a pleasure to work with.
"I personally inspected this pool at night and found it to be normal. When you turn on the pool light at night you may see some degree of waves as this is magnified and exaggerated by the pool light. We offered this customer a discount and she agreed to except. She then hired us to install a new paver driveway."
